One of my drives that used to mount, no longer mounts and if possible, I would like to get my data from the drive as that is where my java projects and other things are.

My current /etc/fstab looks like:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0
# / was on /dev/sda1 during installation
UUID=3327438c-aa5e-400f-82d1-f45e1797209c / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
# swap was on /dev/sda5 during installation
UUID=ffc7c03a-f85b-477f-8f97-a9879e021783 none swap sw 0 0

In the end, I installed GParted and just reformatted that one partition that was causing a problem. The rest of the partitions were fine. Now I can use that partition with no problems. It is not a perfect solution, but I had all the code backed up anyway. Lesson for today..... backup, backup, backup and back up frequently.
